A lot of people out there criticize the Harry Potter books & say they are evil & corruptive. Have you read them all? I have & found them very entertaining with lessons to be learned. Some of the values that kids could learn from these books are the importance of:

Friendship, loyalty, love and support of family, the need for education, caring about others to the extent of willing to die for them, racism is not a good thing (pure-blood wizards condemning those that were not pureblood but half blood or human) good versus evil – sometimes in life evil wins but you keep on fighting it, Satan (or the bad guy) lies & if you follow him & make a mistake he has no forgiveness in his heart & you die. God forgives. The main reason that Harry wins is Love. How can this be a bad thing?

Times change & the older ways of getting things across to the youth are not the same & don’t always work. New things should be tried. Since “God works in mysterious ways”, this could be a new approach

I often cover the secretary who goes on holiday (about 3-4 times a year). Every time she goes away, the boss' wife comes into the office whilst I'm there. She'll say, "Good girl" to me, even though I'm in my late 30's. Also, if I need to speak to her husband (my boss) on the phone and if she happens to be there, she listens intently and has also said on one occasion "Don't you get asked to leave if you do something wrong?" It's now getting to the point where I dread her coming in. What should I do/think of her behaviour? She's not in the office today and now my boss wants to know when I'm next going to be working here (I finish today!!)

when you say "Hi, how you doin'?" All they do is go through a litany of their complaints about their general health, their depression, how they can't stand their relatives, yada, yada, yada. What do you say to them to stop them with all the moaning and complaining about everything in their lives?

After all, 'true Christians' wouldn't be criminals, right?

I read this on the internet and I can't believe people can get so emotional. This is sad to think we live in this kind of society. I'm sick of the race issue. There's no answer to it. People should mind their own business. This guy is going to prison. And it's hard to find a category to post this under!

Now I dont want to know your history. Christians I understand I am one. But I want to know what your practices are birthdays why not? celebratory traditions if not why not? Not here to mock I work at a day care and a family there are Jehova's witnesses and I would just like to understand why you dont celebrate pretty much anything? Please

Evolution started it all way before this world was thought of, and because of it we will all one day be creators our self. Life is education. After each life we go home to prepare for the next lesson (life). We are working at building our true selves. Chipping away at building perfection in our self bit by bit. Our goal is to be a creator like our own creator in total understanding of all things and in pure love and goodness. (In order to do this we have to experience all things as our own creator did) It gets a little deeper than that as to where the very first creator came from, to make it simple everything is one big cycle and energy never ends just grows.(there is a little more to it than that, not much but here and now isn't the time)

Our creator is pure love and could never even think of killing its off spring....we have as much time as we need to build our true selves....it's up to us how long it takes.

What is truly bizarre is thinking you can do it all in one life...and if you don't do it right god will burn you..or that this was all just a fluke.There is so much to know and understand and experience.(note the many different levels of intelligence on this planet).

Did it happen exactly as it says in the bible?

Is it all just a pretty fairy tale?

Was it something similar to what's happened in England recently - immense localised flooding - which seemed to the people at the time that it was "world wide" and put down to God's wrath (people in secularised england today have been saying it was god's work - why not 3000 -odd years ago)?

If it is all just a fairy tale, does it still have some basis in reality - like the thai nursery rhymes that children would learn that told them to run to the hills when the seas receded (because a tsunami would be coming)?

Is it something else entirely?

I have a friend who has ulcerative colitis, which means she has horrible non-stop diarrhea sometimes and has to eat a restrictive diet. I truely feel sorry for her because of her condition and I can't imagine what she's going through.

The problem is that she talks about it constantly. We meet up once a week at a coffee shop and she is always updating me and our other friends on her health status. She'll say things like "I spent most of my day in the bathroom," or "I had an accident at work- it's a good thing I had an extra pair of pants." She has kind of a loud voice, and I feel like everyone can hear our conversation.

I want to be supportive and sensitive, but I don't want to hear about diarrhea over coffee anymore. What should I do?
